what to do with malt vinegar?

bookwormbethie · **Posted:** Mon Apr 08, 2013 2:14 pm

okay, so over the weekend i was at the grocery store, and the british flags on the bottle charmed me so i can home with a bottle of london pub malt vinegar. is malt vinegar more of a condiment than an actual recipe ingredient? suggestions on what on earth i should do with it are welcome!

I use it a condiment for french fries mostly, and vegan fish and chips!!! I LOVE it.

PUT IT ON ALL THE CHIPS*

*fries, I guess.

Mmm, yeah. Fries. And the beer-battered tofu from VB.

I have occasionally used it in salad dressing when I was out of other vinegars.

Yes, I agree with everything everybody said. Malt vinegar on fries is da bomb, and it is great on fish and chips as well as to use in a pinch in place of other dressings. I once made an oil and vinegar-based potato salad with malt and it was a huge hit.

yes, all over fries, that is the answer. you can also pickle onions in it if you like that sort of thing.

I bought some because I saw a recipe for a marinade. I don't make fries at home so I'm also perplexed with what to do with it and I never did get around to making the marinade.

ah yes, i think i see some beer-battered tofu in my future with some homemade fries.... i hope i go "mmmm" for malt vinegar! i've never had it so i really don't know what to expect.

Oh, malt vinegar is so lovely. The malt flavour adds a touch of sweetness but it's also kind of rustic and... Earthy? I don't have another word for it.

I do, too! VB beer battered tofu is one of the things I'm making this week for the challenge, and I've already got my malt vinegar and frozen fries ready! I might make some Mary Rose sauce, too.

On all the fries for sure! And beer battered tofu. Yes yes yes.

I always loved malt vinegar on my hush puppies, too.

This is timely because I was just cleaning out my spice/oil/vinegar cabinet this weekend and found a bottle of malt vinegar I didn't know I had. I don't like fries, so I'm not going to do that. Marinade is a good idea, though.

we got it specifically for chip butties. (a sandwich filled with french fries? yes please.)

Why stop at fries? I put it on mashed potatoes as well. Also good with cabbage.

good question! I will echo everyone else here - I bought a bottle last year to make Chloe's baked french fries and haven't done a thing with it since.

This would be really intriguing to veganize! http://www.bonappetit.com/recipes/2012/ ... ed-chicken

And if there is any left after you have eaten all the chips, you can use it to descale, de-rust, and to clean your windows!
